Chapter 37: The Fulfillment of the Oracle
I left the temple of the Corrupt Lady with Flotra, who had recovered from her mortal wounds, and followed the oracle's instructions into the wilderness and headed north.
It was a bit irresponsible to feel like I was just walking away, but it was the best thing I could do right now. I suddenly remembered a joke from my hometown and asked: If your girlfriend deleted your Warcraft World account, what kind of actions would you do to retaliate against her? A: Not killing her with my own hands shows that I still love her.
Aiola and I met purely in the water, trekking through mountains and rivers along the way, and staying overnight, before we had time to establish a close enough relationship. Now that all the followers she invited have been brutally killed by me, and the corpses have been rudely placed on the altar of the Corrupt Lady, these acts are very different from the deletion of the game account - not dismembering my body into three hundred and sixty-five pieces for a whole year shows that she is already merciful.
I don't know how she will react when she returns to the temple of the Corrupt Lady and sees the corpses that have died at my disposal. Scream bloody murder? Needless to say, this is just the most basic scenario; Suicide to apologize? I killed all people, so what is her crime? Looking for revenge on me? Uh, so I can't wait to slip away now.
Fortunately, Aiola has been predestined by the Corrupt Lady to be the priest of the temple, and her hatred for me is not unquenchable. Don't worry about Iola, I just need to follow the oracle of the Corrupt Lady, and everything will work out in a good direction.
"Why are you going to have a relationship with Namira? I had just woken up to the breath of King Didra beside me, and it almost scared my heart out of my voice! Even more scared than the last time at Sangeon's banquet, it was the Rotten Lady. I'll be eaten as a snack! ”
Although we had come a long way from the temple, the terrified Flotra was still terrified. Now there is no longer the "tiger-eyed" gaze of the corrupt lady. Flora poured out the pent-up fear in my heart at once.
"Don't be afraid, no one will be able to eat you. I'm now the spokesperson for the Rotten Lady......"
"Huh?" Hearing that I confirmed my relationship with the Corrupt Lady, Flotra's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is this possible?" Don't you already have the marks of Gina Les and Sangeon? Why did she have to step in? ”
"As for why she takes a fancy to me...... Well, there are many reasons. ”
First of all, remember that the Corrupt Lady once said, "We will also have private dealings, and your identity is not a secret to me". There should only be two Didra kings who know my dragonborn identity: one of them is the Whispering Lady, and if the Dragonborn is not used as an intermediary, the dragon soul of Andra's nature cannot be transferred to the Ebony Blade of the Dedra nature; The other is the Lord of Desire. Now the ebony blade was in his hand, and there was no reason why he couldn't see the mystery in the blade.
Moreover, "you are very attentive, and I have seen you running around these days." I've been wholeheartedly looking for a sacrifice for the Rotten Lady, and I've worked hard without merit, and the result was a bit unexpected, but it's okay, it's just a false alarm.
Then, my Dragonborn identity. Derived from the idea of the Corrupt Lady. She has a particularly unpleasant eye for all the immortal things in this world - even the Nords have to send their followers to grow mushrooms to make trouble. As the closest thing to immortality in this world, the dragon is undoubtedly a thorn in her side, and the dragonborn who has the ability to kill the dragon completely will be rightfully favored by her.
The most rear. I think most importantly, I understand and agree with her philosophy. With the cognitive level of the Nainshi world, I am afraid that the establishment of the discipline of biology is far away. The principles of the ecosystem are certainly unknown, and no one is looking at cannibalism from a high-level perspective. A time-traveler from Earth. In this way, he accidentally became the first person in the world of Nain's world to truly understand and agree with the concept of the corrupt lady.
"Well, that's a long story. In short, it is difficult to find a confidant. "No longer dwelling on this, I will then reveal my plans for the future to Flotra, "To repay her for her kindness in treating you, I must make a trip to the north as she requested, and you may have to be late in reaching the Temple of Dibella in Marcas." ”
"It's okay," Flora smiled, "I'm sure it's no worse to be with you than to stay in the temple!" ”
……
"Leave my temple and go all the way north to join the first party you see. Then let it be, things will follow the right path, and Iora won't need you to worry about it anymore. ”
This is the original text of the oracle.
What exactly does the Rotten Lady want me to do? She did not give specific instructions. If you have to extract the key words from this oracle, it must be "North" and "Team".
Northern? How North is it? The northern part of the Rich Territory? Further north is the territory of Hafengal? Follow in the footsteps of the ancient Nords and cross the sea north to the continent of Atmora? Whatever, I'm sure the Rotten Lady isn't that boring, let's see.
Contingent? What kind of team can Ruichi have? The legions of Marcus City? Somo's law enforcement squad? Doing business trips? Hungry outcasts? Still is......
The air was moving unusually, and it seemed like a shock wave was about to sweep towards my face. Instinctively, I stopped and tilted my head back slightly. A bone arrow slashed in front of me and sank into the trunk of a tree beside me, and the buzzing sound vibrated in my ears, waking me up from surprise and immediately starting to save myself.
"Flotra, take the Oathbreaker hat out of your bag and give it to me!" After a few words of admonition to Flotra, I let go of my voice and turned to shout in the direction of the attacker, "Stop! Own!!! ”
Sure enough, in the wilderness of Ruichi, there is only one group that can carry out the attack. Loud footsteps rang from far to near, scattered to dense, and the oathbreakers came up from hundreds of meters away, examining the strangers who had intruded into their guard area.
I hastily wore a crumpled antler-fur hat on my head, my injured left hand dangling from my waist in linen, and my right hand was held high above my head in an attempt to gain their trust. "Stop, own people. I'm also an oathbreaker! ”
The lead abothbreaker didn't seem to be foolish, and he questioned my identity. "I think you're a fake oathbreaker, right? We've always had our hats on our heads! ”
This hat is ugly to death, and it has two antlers hanging in the way, and it is just enough to wear it during the New Year's holidays, and I can't stand wearing it all the way in my daily life.
"It's absolutely true, like a fake ......"
But there was no point in doing so, and in order to further prove my identity, I imitated the tone and movements of the crow ghost woman and began to shout, "Thorn Heart, Savage Bone." Awaken from the eternal sleep of death, living avoiders! ”
Witnessing my whimsical role-play, the leader of the Oathbreakers was immediately convinced of my self-defense, and he stopped paying attention to me, but turned his gaze to Flotra, who had no antlers behind me to wear.
"Well, I'm sure no one outside will know about this prayer. Why would there be a Nord barbarian following you? ”
"Oh, it is so, I have just kidnapped a little girl from the Nord barbarians, and I am going to present her as a gift when I will meet the king of Mednaci in the future. You should be understandable. I'll have to take off my hat to trick myself to the Nord barbarians," I added with my right hand, righting the antlers fur hat on my head, "only then I forgot to put it back on." ”
My answer finally dispelled any doubts about our identity as the leader of the Oathbreakers, and he no longer questioned our identity. Instead, the focus was on another aspect.
"You just mentioned King Mednaqi?"
"What's wrong?" Seeing the surprised look on the face of the leader of the Oathbreakers, I was a little confused.
The leader of the Oathbreakers laughed and motioned for his men to withdraw their weapons. Walked up to me and put his arm around my shoulder, "Exactly." We're also going to the King of Mednaqi! ”
……
Led by this small group of oathbreakers, I succeeded in joining up with their large forces. Limited visibility in the forest. I couldn't count the exact number of people, but I could only see herds of reindeer pulling carts, carrying women and children.
In the abundant sky, there are countless species with potential taming value, but it seems that only the oathbreaker is domesticated by the deer.
The reason is very simple, cattle, sheep and horses were domesticated by humans very early, and they were enough to efficiently provide humans with the necessary materials in terms of clothing, food, shelter and transportation, which led to cattle, sheep and horses squeezing out the ecological niche of large domestic animals in human society, and the domestication of deer lost its necessity and urgency.
Due to historical problems, the Oathbreakers are incompatible with the Nords of Skyrim, and they have to start from scratch and re-establish a civilization with their own characteristics. With cattle, sheep and horses monopolized by the Nords, they chose to domesticate deer.
Riding on the back of a young reindeer, Florella curiously and carefully rubbed the antlers in a way she had never experienced before. It was also my first intimate encounter with a herd of deer, but I wasn't as interested as Flotra.
For I realized that the oracle of the Corrupt Lady was in effect, and that it was the first team I had ever met, and I had now joined them. Their purpose is to defect to Mednaqi, which means that I will meet Mednaqi again. Why did the Corrupt Lady want me to come to Maidnachi?
There is no way to deduce, everything can only be understood after the truth is revealed. Mednaki and I have a pretty good relationship, and for the sake of Goddess Ginalais, I'm sure I won't have any risk with him.
"By the way, why are you going to find Mednaqi?"
"More than twenty years ago, we were at the behest of Mednaci, and under his leadership, we recaptured Markas, but you know what happened next. Recently, we heard that the messenger of Mednaki had arrived and brought news that Maidnaki was still alive, so we decided to go to him and discuss the cause of the Oathbreaker! ”
Uh, the Oathbreakers are starting to integrate, which means that Ruichi is going to set off a bloody storm? (To be continued......)
